What I've Been Up To

Since I last blogged I have finished three projects, one just for fun, another was a Pearl Jam 25th anniversary album cover, and the most recent one has been a recycling poster.

     I'll start off by just showing you the project I did for fun. I did this project to practice my skills using some tools I have not used before and try out some new techniques. This project took me two and a half classes to complete, and I used a few tutorials so I could better use the tools that I had yet to try out. I think it came out great and some other people I asked said it looked awesome.

     The Pearl Jam album was a little bit harder for me. When I look at album covers I can never really see anything that has to do with the image and the title of the song. I came up with a few idea's but I did not really like any of them because they did not look good after I sketched them out. I finally just decided to do something a little bit different which I had never seen before. My idea was to take all of their albums, and lay them one on top of the other changing the gradient each time so you could see the 'Pearl Jam' from every album all over my cover.

  






     This is the other cover idea that I was really into as well. For this cover I took each album am put it all onto one. I like this one a little bit more, because it looks much more organized than the other. I also feel like the brown on the other one takes away from it a lot.

     The most recent project I did actually has a reason behind it unlike the others. This one is a recycling poster for a program at my school called 'PGC'. PGC is a program at my school where the Freshmen coming to Morristown High School get a group of two or three seniors. Each homeroom gets a different group of seniors. This helps them get used to the High School and once a week during lunch they get together. When they get together they play some sort of game that helps them bond and talks about some problems they have which you then talk to them about. For this project we got a list of motto's that we could use and I chose the motto 'Recycle or Die' from that list. Right when I heard that motto I got an idea for what I was going to do and it turned out better than I had thought it would have.





     Please tell me what you think of these and what I could do to improve on these.
Thanks.
